Career

At the age of six, Yuya Kubo started playing football for FC Yamaguchi, a local club based in his home city Yamaguchi. From 2006 to 2008, he played in Konan Junior High School.

In 2009,at the age of fifteen, he began to play in Kyoto Sanga F.C. U-18 team while he was still a high school student.On August 2010, he got promoted to the first-team at the age of sixteen.

In the next 2011-12 season, he mainly played for the first-team (scoring 13 goals in 33 matches). He was a key player in the Kyoto Sanga F.C. team which reached the 2011 Emperor's Cup Final. He scored in extra time of the semi-final against Yokohama Marinos, breaking the 2-2 deadlock in a match which Sanga would go on to win 4-2.[1] He also scored in the Final against F.C. Tokyo, coming off the bench as he did in the semi-final. His goal was in vain this time however, as F.C. Tokyo won the match 2-4.[2]

Kubo has been involved in the Japan National Team from U-16 to U-23 level. He received his first call up to the senior team for the Kirin Challenge Cup,a friendly match against Iceland in February 2012, however he did not feature during the 90 minutes.[3]

In the 2012-13 season, Kyoto Sanga announced an update to Kubo's contract; this time it was improved to pay him as a first team member.

On 18 June 2013, Kyoto Sanga announced his transfer to BSC Young Boys, the Swiss club.[4] He made his Swiss Super League debut on 13 July playing 19 minutes in a 2–0 lead against FC Sion at the season opener. On 28 July 2013, he scored 2 goals and 1 assist coming off the bench against FC Thun in a 3-2 win. It was his first goal in his third game in the Swiss Super League.[5]
